Director: Dennis Dugan Edit Storyline When Longfellow Deeds, a small-town pizzeria owner and poet, inherits $40 billion from his deceased uncle, he quickly begins rolling in a different kind of dough. Moving to the big city, Deeds finds himself besieged by opportunists all gunning for their piece of the pie. Babe, a television tabloid reporter, poses as an innocent small-town girl to do an exposé on Deeds. Of course, Deeds' sincere naiveté has Babe falling in love with him instead. Ultimately, Deeds comes to find that money truly has the power to change things, but it doesn't necessarily need to change him. Written by Sujit R.

Trivia When talking to Longfellow on the phone and still pretending to be a school nurse, Babe says that a boy named Billy Barty is in her office sick. This is a tribute to the actor Billy Barty who died in 2000, only three months before production started.

Duritz), David Gibbs and Matthew Malley (as Matt Malley) Sandler's lovable fool has a serious message while slipping on a banana skin 28 April 2003 | by aliciadipesto (London, England) – See all my reviews Nobody goes to see an Adam Sandler movie for spiritual enrichment or intellectual stimulation - let's get that out of the way first. Once you accept you've paid your money to be mildly entertained in a lighthearted, slapstick manner, strap in and enjoy the ride. I keep hearing Sandler is a major Hollywood player these days with an equal footing as producer as he is actor (he has produced a considerable amount with fellow actor Rob Schneider - the similarly inane but funny - mostly in spite of yourself - Hot Chick being the most recent example, in which he has a cameo role and indeed, Schneider helps Sandler out in Mr Deeds) so it's hard to prove that Sandler is now typecast as a lovable fool, because it's fairly likely he chose the part himself, possibly aware that Hamlet might be a little out of his league.

Sandler need only check his bank balance to see that the lovable fool is certainly a lucrative one, having made an absolute mint playing countless other characters blessed with naive charm and a heart of gold. The story - we all know it's a remake of the classic depression-era propaganda film starring Gary Cooper, designed to lift spirits and foster a sense of community - centres around a picturesque New England town and its perenially-cheerful, smalltown inhabitants, chiefly Longfellow Deeds (Sandler), who inherits a fortune from an uncle he never knew, finds himself at the helm of a media empire and heads to the Big Apple to find out more. Here Winona Ryder steps in as the ambitious TV reporter determined to get her big scoop and dupes the affable Deeds into falling in love with her. All the time she's wearing a wire and a hidden camera to enable their courtship and his antics, sometimes drunken, sometimes heroic, to be broadcast on the evening news. Typically Deeds is the last to know and is appalled when he makes the connection. By which time Ryder's character has fallen in love herself, resigned from her job and is begging for a second chance.

Deeds' only flaw is a short fuse and this is at odds with his generous spirit, who at times could be George Bailey, James Stewart's kindly smalltown character in Capra's It's a Wonderful Life (1946), but this spices things up a little and allows the suspension of disbelief to continue a little longer. The number of disrespectful, foulmouthed city folk he takes out is entertaining, while not always convincing, but then times have changed and these days your average bloke doesn't think of taking a swing at a man for swearing in front of a lady (more's the pity I say). While you could aim criticism at this and jeer at the corny lines and simplistic moral at the film's end, there is something to be cherished here. The moral of course being that money is less important than being true to yourself, and while you're at it, be nice to your neighbour. As Mother Teresa once said, kindly words are heard once but their echoes are heard for ever - Deeds' character and his deeds (pun definitely intended) themselves are echoes of another, lamentably more innocent time and it's uplifting to see this spirit so laboured in the film's remake.

It's also refreshing to see this bravely recreated by the producers, who have not shied away from dealing with the film's essence in these cynical times. It's not all sentimental Queen of Hearts stuff though. There are some hilarious, laugh-out-loud moments that counter the film's message perfectly - the helicopter ride to Manhattan where the crew and Deeds are singing 'A Space Oddity' complete with air-guitar springs to mind here - and there is the usual dose of slapstick you'd expect from a Sandler picture. The 7 flying cats rescued from a burning building by our hero is particularly memorable and as I say, I was laughing in spite of myself. This humour compliments the film's slushy message and prevents any actual retching in the theatre - leaving the cinemagoer shuffling out content, with a smile on his face - definitely a feelgood movie. I just hope Sandler doesn't attempt It's A Wonderful Life next, I don't think the world's quite ready yet. 36 of 47 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

Based on the 1935 short story Opera Hat by Clarence Budington Kelland, which appeared in serial form in The American Magazine, the screenplay was written by Robert Riskin in his fifth collaboration with Frank Capra.

This was the seventh of 12 films on which Capra collaborated with screenwriter Robert Riskin, who played a key role in the development of Capra's directorial style.Their other collaborations included It Happened One Night (1934), for which Capra won Best Director and Riskin won Best Screenplay; You Can't Take It With You (1938), and Meet John Doe (1941). 关于Mr. Deeds Goes to Town，网友们最关心的问题 1 想知道下中文名称，有没有网上在线观看的资源。谢谢~~！！ 答 Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) 迪兹先生进城在线观看 Mr. Deeds Goes to Town Plot During the Great Depression, Longfellow Deeds (Gary Cooper), the co-owner of a tallow works, part-time greeting card poet, and tuba-playing inhabitant of the (fictional) hamlet of Mandrake Falls, Vermont, inherits 20 million dollars from his late uncle, Martin Semple. The scheming attorney of his uncle, John Cedar (Douglass Dumbrille), locates Deeds and takes him to New York City.

Cedar gives his cynical troubleshooter, ex-newspaperman Cornelius Cobb (Lionel Stander), the task of keeping reporters away from Deeds. Cobb is outfoxed, however, by star reporter Louise "Babe" Bennett (Jean Arthur), who appeals to Deeds' romantic fantasy of rescuing a damsel in distress by masquerading as a poor worker named Mary Dawson. She pretends to faint from exhaustion after "walking all day to find a job" and worms her way into his confidence. Bennett proceeds to write a series of enormously popular articles mocking Longfellow's hick ways and odd behavior, giving him the nickname "Cinderella Man.\ Cedar tries to get Deeds' power of attorney in order to keep his own financial misdeeds secret. Deeds, however, proves to be a shrewd judge of character, easily fending off Cedar and other greedy opportunists. He wins Cobb's wholehearted respect and eventually Babe's love. However, when Cobb finds out Bennett's true identity and tells Deeds, who had been in love with her, he is left heartbroken and in disgust he decides to return to Mandrake Falls.

When Deeds has packed and walks down the stairs, a dispossessed farmer (John Wray) stomps into his mansion and threatens him with a gun. He expresses his scorn for the seemingly heartless, ultra-rich man, who will not lift a finger to help the multitudes of desperate poor. After the intruder comes to his senses, Deeds realizes what he can do with his troublesome fortune. He decides to provide fully equipped 10-acre farms free to thousands of homeless families if they will work the land for three years. Alarmed at the prospect of losing control of the fortune, Cedar joins forces with Deeds' only other relative and his grasping, domineering wife in seeking to have Deeds declared mentally incompetent. Along with Babe's betrayal, this finally breaks Deeds' spirit and he sinks into a deep depression. A sanity hearing is scheduled to determine who should control the Deeds' fortune. During his sanity hearing, things look bleak for Deeds, especially since he initially refuses to defend himself.

Cedar even gets Deeds' Mandrake Falls tenants—eccentric elderly sisters Jane and Amy Faulkner (Margaret Seddon and Margaret McWade)—to testify that Deeds is "pixilated," meaning odd like a pixie. That charge falls apart when the two spinsters, when questioned as to who else is pixilated, reply, "Why everyone, but us." After Babe convinces Deeds that she truly loves him, he systematically punches holes in Cedar's case—before actually punching Cedar in the face—and the judge declares him to be "the sanest man who ever walked into this courtroom." Mr. Deeds Goes to Town Production Originally, Frank Capra intended to make Lost Horizon after Broadway Bill (1934), but lead actor Ronald Colman couldn't get out of his other filming commitments. So Capra began adapting Mr. Deeds Goes to Town. The two main cast members, Gary Cooper as Longfellow Deeds and Jean Arthur as Louise "Babe" Bennett/Mary Dawson, were cast as production began. Capra's "first, last and only choice" for the pivotal role of the eccentric Longfellow Deeds was Gary Cooper.

Due to his other film commitments, production was delayed six months before Cooper was available, incurring costs of $100,000 for the delay in filming. Arthur was not the first choice for the role, but Carole Lombard, the original female lead, quit the film just three days before principal photography, in favor of a starring role in My Man Godfrey. The first scenes shot on the Fox Studios' New England street lot were in place before Capra found his replacement heroine in a rush screening. The opening sequences had to be reshot when Capra decided against the broad comedy approach that had originally been written. Despite his penchant for coming in "under budget", Capra spent an additional five shooting days in multiple takes, testing angles and "new" perspectives, treating the production as a type of workshop exercise. Due to the increased shooting schedule, the film came in at $38,936 more than the Columbia budget for a total of $806,774.

Throughout the pre-production and the early principal photography, the project still retained Kelland's original title, Opera Hat, although Capra tried out some other titles including A Gentleman Goes to Town and Cinderella Man before settling on a name that was the winning entry in a contest held by the Columbia Pictures publicity department. Mr. Deeds Goes to Town Reception The film was generally treated as likable fare by critics and audiences alike. Noted reviewer Graham Greene was effusive that this was Capra's finest film to date, describing Capra's treatment as "a kinship with his audience, a sense of common life, a morality..." Variety noted "a sometimes too thin structure [that] the players and director Frank Capra have contrived to convert (...) into fairly sturdy substance." This was the first Capra film to be released separately to exhibitors and not "bundled" with other Columbia features. On paper, it was his biggest hit, easily surpassing It Happened One Night.

Deeds Goes to Town Adaptations A radio adaptation of the film was originally broadcast on February 1, 1937 on Lux Radio Theater. In that broadcast, Gary Cooper, Jean Arthur and Lionel Stander reprised their roles from the 1936 film. A planned 1939 sequel, titled Mr. Deeds Goes to Washington, eventually became Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Although the latter's screenplay was actually based on an unpublished story, The Gentleman from Montana, the film was, indeed, meant to be a sequel to Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, with Gary Cooper reprising his role as Longfellow Deeds.[N 1] Because Cooper was unavailable, Capra then "saw it immediately as a vehicle for Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur", and Stewart was borrowed from MGM. A short-lived ABC television series of the same name ran from 1969 to 1970, starring Monte Markham as Longfellow Deeds. It was loosely remade as Mr. Deeds in 2002, starring Adam Sandler and Winona Ryder.

The Bengali movie Raja-Saja (1960) starring Uttam Kumar, Sabitri Chatterjee, and Tarun Kumar, and directed by Bikash Roy was a Bengali adaptation of this film. The 1994 comedy The Hudsucker Proxy had several plot elements borrowed from this film. A Japanese manga adaption of the film was made in 2010 by Ogata Hiromi called Bara no Souzokunin. Mr. Deeds Goes to Town Popular culture The bucolic Vermont town of Mandrake Falls, home of Longfellow Deeds, is now considered an archetype of small town America with Kelland creating a type of "cracker-barrel" view of rural values contrasted with that of sophisticated "city folk".

The word pixilated, previously limited to New England (and attested there since 1848), "had a nationwide vogue in 1936" thanks to its prominent use in the film, although its use in the screenplay may not be an accurate interpretation.[N 2] The lyrics to the 1977 Rush song "Cinderella Man" on the A Farewell to Kings album are based on the story of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town. In Movie "Baby Boom" a babysitter refers to her hometown of Mandrake Falls. ^ Quigley Publishing Company "The All Time Best Sellers", International Motion Picture Almanac 1937-38 (1938) accessed 19 April 2014 ^ Poague 1975, p. 17. ^ a b Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Internet Movie Database.

Bykathleen mckeonon June 20, 2015 Sweet, clean, good family fun. Agree with the other reviewers who say Emilio the butler steals the show. He's great. Just the right mix of creepy (in good clean fun) and intriguing. I would watch this once. If I had to entertain kids of a variety of ages, I'd watch it a 2nd possibly 3rd time. Then I'd need 5+ years to forget it. It's a good family movie. A few good laugh moments. No rip-roarious laugh moments, but good chuckles. Side note: now that I lived in NYC for 4+ years . . . it's amazing just how much I see the BS of the "Inside Access" show seemingly at play in the reporting in NYC. Is everyone totally full of sh*t here? What is wrong with this city?!?

Adam Sandler plays a guy who just inherited 40 million dollars & Takes his first trip to the BIG APPLE NEW YORK. While he's there he meets a very fine women play by Winona Ryder.

At first she's goin out with him because her, then she starts to figure out she's falling in love with him. Before she could tell him the truth he found out she was a reporter, and almost everything she had told him was a lie. So Deeds leaves and goes back home, the day they had scheduled a board For the sale of BLAKE MEDIA Deeds shows back up to give speech about why they shouldn't sale the company. Then to find out that the butler was actually PRESTON BLAKES son no one had ever been told it was in his Diary. A his new found son takes over BLAKE MEDIA. Deeds and his new found love return home to run a pizza parlor. I rate this DVD a 5 of 5 stars!! Format: DVD | Verified Purchase No idea why but this was my favorite movie for a long time. I would watch it over and over. It's very funny and perhaps the last of the great Sandler legacy (Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, etc). There is so much to laugh about and remember from the film it's a great comedy.

This movie is somewhat of a remake, but Sandler makes it his own playing a sheltered/naive small town guy who unexpectedly inherits $40 billion when his long lost media mogul great uncle passes away. As Deeds (Sandler) moves to NYC to set affairs in order, everyone in the press is out to get his story. Ms. Bennett, played by Winona Ryder, is a tabloid journalist who goes undercover as a lady in distress, Pam Dawson, to capture Deeds' attention and get her story. As Dawson and Deeds fall in love, the men running Blake Media (the company Deeds inherited) conspire to tear the company down to sell for profit. Since Deeds has fallen in love with New York, the only way the conspirators can get him out of the picture is to break his heart by exposing Ms. Bennett's scam. Despite the fact that this movie has a good story line, they still managed to fill it with some zany wacky silly comedy and lines I still repeat today. It's a good one. 0Comment | One person found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Report abuse Comment SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: MR.

DEEDS *Moderate QUICK TAKE: Comedy: An unassuming, small town man finds that fame and fortune don't make life better after he inherits $40 billion. PLOT: Longfellow Deeds (ADAM SANDLER) is an unassuming pizzeria owner in the little town of Mandrake Falls where he gets along with everyone, including his workers, Murph (PETER DANTE) and Jan (CONCHATA FERRELL), and customers such as Crazy Eyes (STEVE BUSCEMI), a bug-eyed sort with a penchant for odd pizza topping combinations. Always taking the time to say hello or help out those in need, Deeds' big dream in life is that one day, Hallmark will buy one of his greeting card poems. While waiting for that to happen, Deeds gets a visit from Chuck Cedar (PETER GALLAGHER) and Cecil Anderson (ERICK AVARI), the CEO and legal counsel of Blake Media respectively. It seems that Deeds is the only living heir to owner Preston Blake (HARVE PRESNELL) who recently passed away and left 49% of his company - roughly worth $40 billion - to him.

Soon, Deeds travels to Manhattan to oversee his inheritance and meets Emilio Lopez (JOHN TURTURRO), his late great uncle's butler. He also meets small town school nurse Pam Dawson (WINONA RYDER), completely unaware that she's really TV producer Babe Bennett. She's working undercover for a tabloid TV program called "Inside Access" and her sleazy boss and host of the program, Mac McGrath (JARED HARRIS), wants her and fellow worker Marty (ALLEN COVERT) to beat out the rest of the media swarm and get the inside scoop on Deeds. As Deeds inevitably begins falling for Babe who begins to have second thoughts about her ruse when she sees that he's the real deal, he doesn't notice that Cedar is plotting to wrest control of the company from him. From that point on, Deeds must decide whether fame and fortune are worth the price of his integrity and better sense. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? Those who are fans of Sandler and his goofy style of comedy probably will, as might anyone who's a fan of anyone else in the cast.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13 For language including sexual references, and some rear nudity. CAST AS ROLE MODELS: ADAM SANDLER plays a small town pizzeria owner who finds his life turned upside down when he inherits $40 billion. Even so, he maintains his unassuming ways while falling for Babe. Despite his otherwise polite demeanor, he occasionally responds to certain situations by punching people. WINONA RYDER plays a producer who pretends to be someone else in order to get inside Deeds world and get the scoop on him. She starts to fall for him, however, and begins to have reservations about her ruse. JOHN TURTURRO plays Deeds' Spanish butler who has a knack for zipping around from place to place. ALLEN COVERT plays Babe's co-worker who uses some profanity and eventually decides to undermine Babe's undercover plan regarding Deeds. PETER GALLAGHER plays the CEO of the company that Deeds now runs who wants to buy out Deeds so that he had complete control. ERICK AVARI plays his associate, the legal counsel for the company who carries around a pipe, but never smokes it.

JARED HARRIS plays the seedy host and producer of a tabloid TV show who wants Babe to dig up all of the dirt on Deeds that she can find. PETER DANTE plays one of Deeds' lazy workers at his pizzeria. CONCHATA FERRELL plays Deeds' waitress back in Mandrake Falls. STEVE BUSCEMI plays an odd man in Deeds' hometown with bug-eyes and a penchant for odd pizza combinations. JOHN McENROE plays himself, a former tennis pro who shows Deeds the "real" NY by taking him out drinking and egging cars at night. Curious if this title is entertaining, any good, and/or has any artistic merit? Then read OUR TAKE of this film. (Note: The "Our Take" review of this title examines the film's artistic merits and does not take into account any of the possibly objectionable material listed below). OUR WORD TO PARENTS: Here's a quick look at the content found in this comedy that's been rated PG-13. Profanity consists of a bleeped out "f" word, along with many "s" words and other expletives.

Various colorful phrases are uttered, as is some sexually related dialogue. A woman's cleavage and a man's bare butt (covered in soap suds) are seen, while a non-sexual positioning of bodies is turned into a brief sexual joke. Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, while all sorts of material might be enticing for some impressionable kids to imitate. Some mild gross-out style material is also present, while a few scenes could be suspenseful to viewers sensitive to the particular subject matter at hand (including a child choking and a woman near drowning under a frozen lake). Various characters smoke and/or drink (with the protagonist waking up with a hangover after a night of drinking), a drug reference is made, and comedic violence includes various scenes of people getting into fights and/or being struck by various objects. If you're still concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home who may be interested in seeing it, we suggest that you take a closer look at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content. Q: Is there any connection between the Adam Sandler movie "Mr. Deeds" and the old movie "Mr. Deeds Goes to Washington"?

| TV Tabloid Q&A Q: Is there any connection between the Adam Sandler movie "Mr. Deeds" and the old movie "Mr. Deeds Goes to Washington"? Adam Thomlison / TV Media Actually there is no old movie "Mr. Deeds Goes to Washington," though there almost was. The 2002 Adam Sandler movie "Mr. Deeds," dismissed by many as just another Sandler screwball comedy, was in fact a remake of the 1936 silver-screen classic "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town." Sandler was filling the shoes of none other than screen legend Gary Cooper as Longfellow Deeds, a small-town man from Mandrake Falls, Vt., who heads to New York after inheriting a fortune as well as all of the problems that come with it. The original film was directed by another Hollywood legend, Frank Capra, whose legend would be built upon three years later when he made "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." Perhaps you can see where this is going.

Capra says in his autobiography, "The Name Above the Title," that his assistant, Chester Sticht, approached him in 1938 with the premise for a new film, calling it "another Mr. Deeds." The premise was based on the forgotten novel "The Gentleman From Montana," and was about a small-town man who becomes a senator and shakes up the corrupt workings of Washington, D.C. To hear Capra tell it, he instantly knew that this wasn't a "Deeds" sequel, but would be best as a vehicle for young Jimmy Stewart, who already had the "naive, idealist" image the role required. The decision proved right, and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" was a hit at the box office and the Oscars and is now cited as one of the greatest political films of all time. Besides the similar titles and the same director, confusion may also stem from the leading lady. Both "Deeds" and "Smith" boasted the lovely Jean Arthur as their leading lady. Have a question?
